Recently, the annual Forbes list of the highest paid couples among celebrities was published. And there was a slight shake-up and a change of leaders. As a result, the main position was taken by the spouses and young parents Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z. The easiest way to fly out of this list is not only to become poor, but simply to part. Therefore, couples such as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were not taken into consideration, who decided to divorce just before the publication. And scandalous mega stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. If Tom and Katie had not divorced, they would have been in first place. And Robert and Kristen - the fourth.
But, nevertheless, by their behavior, both those and others rendered service to other couples whose relations proved to be more robust. That is, as they say, a holy place is never empty. Beyonce and Jay-Z already headed this list earlier, in 2009. And now they managed to earn a huge $ 78 million over the past year. And the income in the house brought both partners, despite the pregnancy and childbirth of Beyonce, which in no way prevented making money. Heidi Klum and Sil have long since been together, which means they can not claim to put themselves on the list of "the richest famous couples". Although they could, according to experts, get into the top ten.
Whatever it was, one model still managed to squeeze into second place. It's about the highest-paid model of the world, Gisele Bündchen and her husband Tom Brady. And, although the footballer Tom signed a good contract, it's Gisselle who brings a lot of money to the family. In third place, surprisingly, are David and Victoria Beckham. And the top five leaders are the notorious Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with $ 45 million in income, and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, whose combined income exceeded $ 40 million.
